The Jupiter Jack is an all new cell phone accessory that allows you to talk 100% hands free on your cell phone while driving. It is different than the typical hands free sets that aren't really hands free. This is because there is no head set and no wires of any kind with the Jupiter Jack.

With the Jupiter Jack you will be able to talk totally hands free, which includes not worrying about an potentially uncomfortable or annoying headset.

The Jupiter Jack isn't the robust or expensive feeling product so we cannot speak to its overall durability or whether or not it will last for the long haul. It does work well it's just that we don't know how well it may be working a year from now. You can get the Jupiter Jack for an extremely low price of only $19.99 plus shipping and handling so it is a great buy and if it does break after a couple years you can always get a new since its so cheap.
